About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4, and then when I turned 12 I began taking care of other dogs around the neighborhood. I have had the enormous blessing of making friends of both human, canine, and feline through pet sitting & Rover. The profile says I had only one repeat client but I’ve had over eight families (in addition to many others by word of mouth) that have repeatedly used my loving care for their animals and homes. I had a very successful and full pet care business in multiple states including; Illinois, Utah, and California. I have house sat for more families than I can remember and all were happy and safe experiences for the pets, families, and me! I’m working a little part time and spend a lot of time taking care of myself and writing. Pet care has always worked into my every day and weekly schedule very easily and with excitement as I love to be around animals. I make sure to be aware of the environment and the animal before I make any big steps. I check for fences and make sure doors are closed. I have a cat right now that is very warm yet shy so when I get the chance to house pets in my home I know they will be separate and safe. I ensure that each animal is safe and seen in all environments whether it is outside on walks or in the backyard or even just in the kitchen.

About: Hi and thanks for visiting my profile! I've had dogs around me since I was a small child. My own dog, Nemo is 11 years old shitzu and I've had him since he was 6 weeks old so I know how important and loved dogs are to their parents. I will ensure your dog walking and sitting experience starts and ends with lots of fresh water and hugs. I look forward to meeting your fur-baby to ensure I am the BEST fit for both of you. It is so important that your dog trusts me to provide him/her with a positive and upbeat experience each and every time. Feel free to reach out to me about additional services such as meal preparation, and administering medication. Thanks again for visiting my profile!

About: Hi! My husband and I are home full-time with our sweet dog, Susie—she loves having friends over. We’re in a duplex in Norwich with a private yard for safe play and potty breaks. Your pet will get attentive care, a comfy routine, and frequent photo updates so you can travel worry-free. We’re animal lovers who’ll send frequent updates and follow your instructions so your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible :) Any questions? Please reach out anytime! We’re home full-time; our schedule is flexible: walks, feedings, playtime, and meds fit easily. We can mirror your pet’s routine and send updates throughout the day :) At our home: We start with a slow, supervised intro with our dog, Susie, and can offer separate spaces if needed. Pets enjoy our private yard for supervised potty/play and neighborhood leash walks. Meals and meds follow your schedule; crates are welcome if that’s their routine. Expect calm naps, toys/enrichment, and frequent photo/text updates. In your home: We mirror your pet’s routine exactly—feeding, meds, walks, crates/litter—while prioritizing safety with harness/leash checks and weather-aware timing. We respect your home (lights/locks, tidy bowls/litter) and can bring in mail or water plants. You’ll get an update after every visit with pics and notes, and we happily tailor care for shy or special-needs pets.

About: I have been house sitting and taking care of family/friends pets for over a decade. I have always felt a special connection with animals and hope I get to take care of all types of furry friends! I do have a full time job M-F but am able to work around it with notice. Please feel free to let me know exactly what you are looking for! My fiancé and I have a dog who loves to snuggle and play (and has no concept of personal space LOL) I am always catering to what he is in the mood for, and I would do the same for yours! Whether your dog has the energy for a walk, or just wants to hang on the couch, I am there to make sure they are happy and comfortable, with all the care and love they need!

Sarah is an excellent dog sitter! We have used Sarah's services for over a year, and her care has been consistently outstanding, especially with managing our dog's specific needs. Her communication skills are top-notch; we always receive frequent updates. It's not easy finding someone you trust with your pet, but Sarah is the best. She is professional, and dependable. Our dog is always so excited to see her, which tells us everything we need to know. We come home to a happy, well-cared-for dog every time. We are grateful for her excellent service and the peace of mind she provides. Highly recommended

Nikki took care of my dog for two days, and this whole experience has been excellent. She is caring and gentle to my animals, and also watched over my cats even though that wasn’t included in her duties. Thank you very much for that! I think Nikki genuinely cares about animals, and I would highly recommend her services. She has walked my dog, fed my dog, and played with him during the visits. I received photos from her while I was away from my home, and I feel very safe to have let her take care of my dog. Also, Nikki was very friendly and professional. I definitely would hire her to take care of my dog again next time I have to be away from home.

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals. If they have four legs, I pretty much enjoyed to be around. Zoos are my place to experience all breeds of life. I currently work from home. This has allowed me to have all the time needed to bond with pets. I also enjoy my 3 acres of space. I want to have it used by any pet who loves to roam outside. Just alot of space to entertain pets. My yard is not all fenced in. However its away from any sort of traffic. Very quite and alot of pet friendly homes. I can assure to put safety first at all cost.

Jenna is the best sitter I have ever had! She is so accommodating and insanely flexible! When we got our new puppy Jenna made time to come over and meet him before me booking an appointment with her. This puppy was very unsocialized but took to her instantly. I was using her on a regular basis but my schedule changed. Now it’s just random times and she is always available! 10/10 I would and have recommended her to multiple people!

About: I have been pet sitting for 8 years, but have been a lover of animals my whole life. I have cared for all sorts of animals, from dogs and cats, to rabbits, turtles, goats, and birds. I give every animal the attention they deserve and I treat each animal as if they were my own. I am trustworthy, kind, punctual, and dedicated to the welfare of all animals in my care. I do house sitting, dog walking, in home care, and boarding. I can care for animals that need medications. I have experience working with puppies and house training.

About: I've taken care of dogs and many other animals, reptiles, etc since I was a young teen for neighbors, family and friends. I gratefully house sit and tend to pets needs of any age and size. I am available for check-ins, house sitting and walking. I have a pretty open schedule with some responsibilities to tend to on Thursday night and Sunday morning. Besides that I can work around you. I have a very energetic pup at home who gets lots of play time, training and walks. While pet/house sitting I make sure each pet gets everything they need including medications and check ins with owners to let them know how their furry animals are doing. I always enjoy playing with animals ensuring they are comfortable and having fun. Messes can happen so I ensure I leave it cleaner than what I found.

About: I am an avid dog lover who has had a dog for over 30 years. I love all different breeds of dogs, and currently have a Maltese, Bichon, and and a Shitzu. I also am a Certified Vet Assistant, and love being with all animal types. I live on a small farm and recently opened my own pet sitting business because of my love and knowledge of animals. If you need somebody reliable , loving, and vet certified I am the person you need.When you cant be there for your pet I Will. Safety, trust and love. Exercise, playing, and walking a must. Being respectful and having pet insurance, helps the customer be at ease. Care, love and dog communication at its best. Constantly paying great attention to whichever client is in my home along with some space, and getting the animal adjusted to a new setting. Having the pet be comfortable with the new surroundings is vitally important.

About: I have years of experience taking care of many different type of animals. Many of my clients I have had for a long time and they continue to recommend me to more people in need of animal care! My top priority is to ensure the happiness and safety of all animals. I am currently in school and work a part-time job. Most of my availability is on the weekends, but I can be available Wednesdays after 4pm, along with Mondays between 11am-1pm. When caring for pets in client’s homes I can let them out (in a fenced in area or on a leash) for bathroom breaks and play with them for a little bit.

Tirzah was absolutely fantastic with Chorizo! From the initial meet and greet all the way through the scheduled drop-in, their communication was excellent — always prompt, clear, and reassuring. I could tell Chorizo was in great hands. I appreciated the update and photos, and it was obvious they genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Norwich

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Norwich on Rover is $27.68 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,414 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Norwich. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Norwich stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Norwich choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Norwich with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwich. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
